The message for the beloved Children of God- The Battle of "Spiritual Warfare!"

Good morning, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- The Battle of "Spiritual Warfare!"

We're going to start with understanding first,we're engaged as we battle throughout our lives daily in this world. It's in Ephesians 6:12,For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.The Bible is very clear on the existence of spiritual warfare. Peter warns us in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Believers battle against the devil's schemes daily and it's a spiritual battle, not a physical one. We are the children of God, so lets awake from sleep walking, open your eyes people. Read Luke 11:34,Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. In other words you're spiritual dead, again awake from sleep walking. We have to get understanding about "Light and Darkness", "Sin and Forgiveness." In 1 John 1:5, This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. The truth of the gospel is what sets people free. Satan attempts to blind people from that truth. It says in Ephesians 4:18, They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Wow, how can you reject knowledge?  It's when you reject the Word of God. This means that where there is no instruction in the Word of God, then the people will walk in darkness, blindness and eventually be destroyed. Read (NIV) Hosea 4:1-6, Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away."But let no one bring a charge, let no one accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge", I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.The key word here is "My People", The people did not simply lack knowledge; they actively rejected it, no faithfulness, no unconditional love and no acknowledgment of God. Have you abandoned your first Love (God)? Ask yourself are you rejecting God's (Word)Truth?  Come on people, you have been giving another day, another chance to trust Him. Can you hear the Lord calling you? According to the Bible, God has “called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.” It is this marvelous light that we see in the face of Jesus Christ. Not only does he call us to be light in a dark and troubled world, He calls himself the “light of the world.” He is a living light that shines over us and ahead of us. Satan's main goal is to prevent people from hearing the good news about Jesus. The message of forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ sets people free. We are blessed to be able to make mistakes and still obtain God's love and forgiveness. Just as we should with people, after saying you are sorry you must ask to be forgiven and forgive others. There is no special prayer you have to pray to earn forgiveness from God. All you have to do is ask him to forgive you, through Jesus Christ, and believe that he will forgive you and it's done. Thank you Jesus ! The good news is that, no matter how serious the sin maybe, God is always seeking us out and is willing to forgive and forget our sins and give us a fresh start. As long as we live, it is never too late to ask for forgiveness and make a new start also with others. Understand this, The Day Is Nearer To Come" in Romans 13:11-12, And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Amen. Heavenly Father, we cry out " Abba Father" help us to be more like you to forgive others. Help us Lord to understand that the hour is nearer. Thank you Lord for Loving us and making away for us to see you again. Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

Ephesians 6:11-17,Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Matthew 18:18-19,“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of the Mind!"

Good morning, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of the Mind!"

Praise the Lord for another day people of God. So, Monday's word was "Spiritual Warfare" and Tuesday's word "The Battle of Warfare. " Today we're going to get some understanding about the "Battle of the Mind." God's Word comes to us today with the simple message, "Everyone should be quick to listen; slow to speak." We need to hear the message or messenger (the speaker) because, within our daily ways, usually the instinct to talk is stronger than the instinct to listen. Please don't kill the messenger, prophets, prophetess (or overseers) are one inspired (called) by God through the Holy Spirit to deliver a message. Let's look in the book of wisdom first, Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. Now, read Proverbs 28:26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. We're at war Children of God in the mind. Let's look at our way of hearing too. A foolish person “gives an answer before he hears” the end of something. A wise person tries to resist defensiveness, and to listen from a nonjudgmental stance, training him or herself not to formulate opinions or responses until everything is on the table and the whole story has been heard. Listening shows you want to understand what the other person is experiencing, is feeling, and is thinking. We should listen with the ears of God, so we can speak the Word of God always to others. In James 1:9, Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. James is pointing out that it's not the circumstances of this short, fading life that matters the most. It's the position we will hold in the life to come that is significant for us and others. James shows us that true faith adopts God’s eternal perspective always by (God's) His Word. Whenever a person senses that you are not really listening to what he or she has to say, I believe you're foolish. It's the word of God in Proverbs 18:2, A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. Get understanding, there is a difference between having ears and having “ears to hear.”  We have two  types of hearers: those who let the Word of God pass straight through their ears and those who truly listen and seek understanding by God's Word. Some hear the Word, yet they do not allow it to take root. Others hear the Word and open themselves to understand and accept it so that it transforms them. Those who have “ears to hear” allow the Word to bear fruit to the glory of God. It is up to the hearer to decide whether to take the Word seriously and pursue understanding of the Word of God. Get this people, Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” He is calling for people to pay close attention! My question for today, " Are You Listen?" The man who perseveres under trials is blessed in this life, because you're an over comer. Seeking God’s truth takes energy and focus; it takes a willingness to be challenged and changed. While the way of God’s truth is not the most comfortable or fun path to take always, you can be assured that it is the best for you life. In Proverbs 18:13,He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. This means don't give an answer before thou hast heard the problem. So, some people have asked where did you get that kind of faith? The answer in Romans 10:17-18, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. Heavenly Father, help us to open up the inner man and receive from you. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of Warfare ! "

Good morning, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of Warfare ! "

Let's get understanding of the Worldly Battle first for the Children of God. It begins with learning the truth of God's Word and dispelling the lies of the enemy. We're in this world, but not of this world right? If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Read 1 John 2:15-17,Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, comes not from the Father but from the world.The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.My questions for today, do you not know who you are ? Here is three answers to the question, John 1:12,Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. In 1 Corinthians 3:16,Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? Now look at 1 Corinthians 6:17,But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Let me make it plan, if you are joined with God it's the spirit of oneness.This means that, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.Come on somebody, stay with me! Next question what spirit are you listening too? Let's look at the book of wisdom, Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. Also, Proverbs 28:26,Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit of God and understand what He is saying. We're God's Children,it's in 1 Peter 2:9,But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Are you at a crossroad in your walk of life? You might be thinking at this very moment, Wow !  Are you going to believe God and begin seeing yourself as God sees you or are you going to continue believing the lies of the enemy and the echoes of your past? Are you going to remain stuck in a stagnant faith because you're too insecure to take a step forward toward the abundant life Jesus has promised you or are you going to wait until everything start tumbling down around you ? This is the battle of the mind and people, the more we embrace these truths from Scripture about who we have become in Christ, the more stable, grateful, and fully assured we will be in this world. Speak over yourself, Romans 8:36-39,As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I encourage you today in God's Word (Holiness) and give you assurance of God's eternal purpose concerning your life. Get understanding people read 1 Corinthians 15:55-57,O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Stop letting people speak death to your inner man, I speak life we're conquerors through him, we're made new. Christ calls us “New Creations.” It's in 2 Corinthians 5:17,Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! The Scriptures say, 'People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God for "It is Written." Read it Matthew 4:3-4,The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Heavenly Father we thank you for Your Word is Truth.The world may tell us something different, that we don't measure up to their standards. But Lord we're a chosen people called from darkness into your marvelous light. And we cry out "Abba Father" thank you. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God- Spiritual Warfare !

Good afternoon, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- Spiritual Warfare !

 Jesus Christ died like no other, His life was not taken from Him; He laid it down of Himself. If we believe in Jesus Christ, then we believe and know that He died to conquer the works of the devil to set us free. Now, in Hebrews 12:1-3, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. If you're a believer who is living like salt and light in a dark world, it's not going to take long without encountering spiritual warfare, obstacles and attacks in your journey in this world. So get this, we're on the battlefield in this world daily. Many believers and unbelievers today do not want to “deal” with a world we cannot see things, when the world we do see is hard enough to “deal” with. Before we can discuss the spiritual battle, we have to believe in the spiritual (world)realm. It's war in the Spirit Realm, you have to know the spirits first. Look at 1 John 4:1, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Wow, that's powerful ! It's the unseen things that's new to us, but God is right there with us, thank you Holy Spirit. Our footsteps are ordered by God, it's in Proverbs 16:9, A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. We can understand to some degree that the battle in the spiritual realm is ongoing and real, even though we cannot see it. Understand when a person is fighting with agree and disagreement (words), it's the spirit that's coming from within. I'm not saying we cannot disagree, I'm asking a question? But,what does God say or what would God do ? That's agreement ! From the beginning of time, Adam and Eve experienced the first human “battle” with Satan in the garden, and because of their fall, he has continued to try to destroy mankind ever since. We may not see it, the spiritual warfare, but we must not forget it's there.  It's warfare within us fighting daily. In Psalm 59:10-12, The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. To understand the battle of spiritual warfare, we need to begin with acknowledging that we're at war. Get understanding first people,the world is where people dwell right? So the pattern of this world refers to how the people collectively choose to live on the earth. In Romans 12:1-2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. We, as believers, are told to not conform to the ways of other people in the world. But to be transformed in the mind and live to please God, who is not of this world. How are you living in this world today? Are you a warrior for Christ Jesus? Are you crying out for His people? Are you praying for the Nation/ Nations? Are you praying for Israel and asking for more of His Spirit (Love) to dwell within you? It's in John 16:13, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. A prayer warrior senses the spiritual battle and intercedes in prayer at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The warrior boldly intercedes for others and self and boldly offers to pray when led. Now, get understanding we're led by the Holy Spirit, not by flesh to speak anything outside of God's Word to people, it's not God's Will. As we grow to know God’s Truth and what is real, we also know more what is false, and we are stronger to stand against it in the powerful Name of Jesus Christ. He never leaves us to fend for ourselves in a dark world, but reminds us He is constantly with us, fighting for us, even when we cannot see it. Get this in Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heavenly Father help us to move forward towards you more daily. Let us hear what the spirit of truth is saying. We cry out "Abba Father" help us to be more like you daily. Let us understand the power (Holy Ghost) within us to do your Will Lord. Let us therefore be followers of Christ Jesus. Let us not be just hearers of the word, but doers. God’s Word demands action, we're at War Spiritual. Thank you Lord for Your Word. Amen !

The message for the weekend- " The Power Within!"

Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,

The message for the weekend- " The Power Within!"

People of God do you not know the power within you? Understand the ways of the world hate the power of Light overtaking darkness.It's in John 15:19, If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. A question, do you not know who you are in Christ Jesus ? Children of God, you are salt and light, it's in Matthew 5:13-16, "You are the salt of the earth." But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. "You are the light of the world." A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Understand both salt and light have properties which affect things around them. Salt is used to enhance flavor, and as a preservative. To 'be salt' means to deliberately seek to influence the people in one's life by showing them the unconditional love of Christ through your good deeds. Whether we acknowledge God or not, we are still created in His image and likeness,we're more like Him than any other created being. Because of this, we recognize that other people are important, too. In Hebrews 12:1-2,Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Get understanding, we're called to endurance Children of God. The definition of Endurance is to persevere, persist and to hang in there, to be faith driven. It's in (NLT) Revelation 14:12,This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus. We must endure through much tribulation to the end time, Amen ! We have within us the Holy Spirit and Power, we must stand firm in Christ Jesus. Whenever you focus on the pain and not the Word of God, then you become weak unable to stand firm. How can we boldly say that we have fought the good fight, how can we say we have finished the course and we have kept the faith? When we're not sharing or spreading the "Good News?"  We must not be afraid to open our mouths and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission refers to several passages in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ urges his Apostles to make “disciples of all the nations” and “baptize” them. The command is to entrust the truth to others. We must stand firm in our Faith, we must endure, we must persevere, toward godliness and all the more as the day of our Lord is approaching. Did you answer the call ? It's in 2 Timothy 1:9 -12, Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. We who have been bought and set apart by the blood of Jesus Christ, must be eager to share what He has entrusted to us, whether it be the Good News, time, energy, or resources. Sharing reminds us that we are not to set our affections on things of this earth, nor store up treasures that have no eternal value. We have been called to serve God first and His people. This is a command in Psalm 96:3, Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. Okay, read that again, not just friends and family, but all people and all nations. Jesus says “follow me” at least 20 times in all four Gospels. In the four gospels it's  6 occasions in Matthew, 4 in Mark, 5 in Luke, and 5 in John. Understand, Christ Jesus is Our Example ! Don't take my words read, 1 Peter 2:21-25, To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.“He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Now, here is the key note, in Mark 10;45, For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.  For one of God's  (Prophetess) charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus the elect to serve God's People. Heavenly Father we cry out "Abba Father" help us to be more like you daily. Let us understand the power (Holy Ghost) within us to do your will. Let us therefore be followers of Christ Jesus. Let us not be just hearers of the word, but doers. God’s Word demands action, we're at war spiritual. Thank you Lord for Your Word. Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :


Matthew 25:1-12,"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish and five were wise.The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'


Matthew 25:32,All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

The message for today - Part #2 of - " Prayer !"

Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,

The message for today - Part #2 of - " Prayer !" 

I was thinking about yesterday's message " Let's pray together" and the word of God spoke this to me, " Teach them How to Pray !" Understand some people believe that you can just speak out words and it's done. Wrong, it's in Proverbs 15:8,The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. In the Scriptures it plainly says that God will hear and answer a believer’s prayer, but not those of the unbeliever. In 1 Peter 3:12 “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” We have confidence that God will hear our prayers His Children. God can even hear the thoughts and intents of our hearts, in Hebrews 4:13, Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Now get understanding first, so it’s not a matter of whether He will hear us or not, it’s a matter of whether we’ll accept His answer. Look at Proverbs 15:28-29,The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. It's in the Word of God, please don't have the wrong motives in your heart and thoughts.Come boldly to the Throne of Grace with Love in your heart. Do you not know that God doesn't answer your will, only His Will is done. Read John 9:31, We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Also, in James 4:3, When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. We think of the "outer man" as our body or outward appearance or behavior, whereas the inner man is associated with things like our mind, heart, soul, and spirit. Do you not know that God sees the sin that is so often present in our inner man? The Bible clearly states that God is not only concerned with the person we show to the world (our behavior), but that His judgment extends even to the hidden motives of our hearts. Now, that's powerful ! But, God hears our inner sounds from the heart. The story of Hagar and Ishmael being sent away, but God had a plan and purpose. Read the purpose and plan in Genesis chapter 21 :6-18,Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son. But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.” Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.”And as she sat there, she began to sob.God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” Now stay with me, God heard Hagar and her son whimpering in the wilderness, "HE IS STILL LISTEN !" What are you crying out ?  God, hears the Cry of His Children always. God Protected Hagar and Ishmael her son and He will do it again for His beloved Children. Look at 1 John 5:14-15, This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of him. God recognizes the voice of His own Spirit, because the prayers that the Spirit prompts are in strict accordance with His will. What's in the mind of the Spirit of the person praying is it His Will? What are the thoughts of the Spirit, and therefore what is the echo of those thoughts in the prayers that are offered to Him (God) for ready? We should come before the Throne of Grace seeking God's Will Always !  It's Scripture Psalm 24:4, The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. There's only one True Living God ! Get understanding,Jeremiah 10:10,But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath. Resist your way or will and surrender to His (God's) Will and His Way ? Read the word in Romans 8:26-27, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Heavenly Father, help us to get understanding of Your Will. Help us to look more to you the author and finisher of our faith in you Lord.

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

Matthew 25:1-12,"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish and five were wise.The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'

Matthew 25:32,All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

The message for today - " Let's Pray Together !"

Good morning to the beloved Children of God,

The message for today - " Let's Pray Together !"

It's in 2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. We're called by God to stand in the gap, to lift up others and our nation / nations with all it favors and faults before the Throne of Grace (God), and pray that He continues to work in our midst. Let's pray together for one another daily. Let's pray for Israel, the nation, for the president and the government leaders, the Health department, nurses, doctors, our mayors, city councils, police officers, mothers, fathers, churches, our children, teachers, preachers, judges, one another, our communities and other nations. Agree or disagree with our leaders is passing judgment, let's pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to renew ( transform) the mind of Your People. We look at Romans 12:2,Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will. Did you know the Bible speaks of something called transformation? Something has to change in the mind of the people. Read Romans 2:1,You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. God, a nation that honors you is blessed, we're a blessed people we believe Your Word Lord. We are also called to pray for the salvation of others and for the wisdom of our leaders. The key is to pray, not attack our nation’s leaders, whether verbally or otherwise, prayer is the key for change. First and foremost, the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2 commands us to pray for our government leaders. Why ? Because, we all need prayer. This tells us whom we are to pray for with these various means of prayer. You have never met anyone that you cannot or should not pray for daily. It's in 1 Timothy 2:1-3, I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. In John 14:5-6,Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way? ”Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” We're commission by God to pray for people and the land. It's in Psalms 2:10-11,  Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. Heavenly Father, Strengthen your people and leaders with wisdom and grace for the heavy burdens they carry daily.Take charge, Heavenly Father, and let your glory fill your people by Your Spirit (Love and Truth) in the Name of Jesus Christ we believe and pray, Amen.

The message for the beloved Children of God- "Faithfully Seek Him !"

Good afternoon, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- "Faithfully Seek Him !"

Yesterday, I was thinking about Psalm chapter 91. So if, we faithfully seek God, we'll find Him, God wants us to seek His face daily right ? God is looking for faithful seekers, early seekers and those seeking Him with their whole heart. Look at Psalm 63:1, A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. We can apply his declaration to our own lives, if we're seeking Him. Maybe there are circumstances in your life that prevent you from seeking God in the early morning hours, but do not let circumstances control you, we have 24 hours in one day. Put first things first and spend time with God is first, to build a personal relationship with Him. This is vital to the true believers life, one of my Aunt's always ask me do you ever sleep ? Understand the body is sleeping, but the spirit is awake at all times. While all spirits go through during their transition process, because sleep is related to the physical body's needs for recovery and the fact that spirits lack bodies, there is no sleeping, drinking, or eating at all in the Spirit World.  I'm always seeking Him early, because the Holy Spirit is speaking to me and I'm listening early at (2 am- 5 am), the Holy Spirit reveals at His timing. Understand the Spirit World never sleeps! The word of God tells us to know the spirit by the spirit. Who's speaking to you and who are you listening to day and night ?  God, reveals himself to the seekers. God also has revealed Himself through the written Word, the Scriptures. The Bible is God's revelation of Himself to humankind. It's in Romans 1:20, For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature,have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. So look at Acts 17:27, God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. Let's give Him praise for being with us at all times good and bad days. When we draw near to God, He will draw nearer to us. Don't miss understand who God is and where He is. God is everywhere present, "omnipresent" ! In every place in the universe God is present. He is not limited by space. Read Colossians 1:17, He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.Omnipresence means minimally that there is no place to which God's knowledge and power do not extend. Now let's look at Jeremiah 29:13,You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Are you seeking Him with you whole heart or only on Sunday's ? I'm sorry maybe only when things are looking and feeling bad ? Lord thank you for giving us another chance and day to seek your face. Okay, so if we move forward in seeking God we'll find more answers, strength, direction, joy, peace,hope, safety, light in the darkness and true Love. Wow, this is God's promises to us his beloved Children. Now, we know that God cannot lie, he's not like man. To those who faithfully obey God and seek Him daily, He promises that in Psalm 91:1-10,Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. Understand faith comes by hearing the Word from God, it's in Romans 10:17, Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Are you studying God's Word daily ? God is speaking to us, are you listening ? Are you thirsting for God's Word, the living water?  Heavenly Father thank you for giving us another day. Let us learn from Your Word the Truth for our Lives. Amen !
